Andrew Bauld | You Can't Steal First

Amidst all the hullabaloo of this season's Boston Red Sox, a lone figure has been nearly forgotten. He has no $52 million contract, his stats are modest and he'll probably never be an All-Star. But in many ways he just may be the heart and soul of the Boston Red Sox.
